2009 Audi A5 coupe - Throttle Body

[Nige-A5]

Hi

I have a 2009 Audi A5 coupe Sline - 2.0 TDI Quattro .

I had an  issue with the throttle body around November the garage cleaned it for me said see how you get on and if it comes back best to get a new one.

The issue returned today , I get the coil light flashing on dash and car engine spluttering /shaking etc. If I turn car off and back on its ok for a while .

I did a google search and came across these does anyone know if these would work , or any recommendations on one of them.

I don't do a lot on miles in the car usually just local trips

 

Thanks

I'd get another diagnostic check first to see if it is the same fault. As a failing MAF sensor etc could cause similar symptoms.

HI if you can get the part number off your old unit that would put you in the right ball park if not the VIN/REG NO provided at your local parts supplier should produce the right specimen, try Carparts in motion on eBay I buy loads from them and if you are not sure ring them and they will give you the correct listing number for the part you need, generally speaking you can get away with cleaning only if you get at it early but if the light keeps coming back on it normally means the gearbox on the unit has had it, the gears are made of plastic and it won't take a lot of resistance caused by the crud on the butterfly valve to kill them completely, my daughters Q3 had the same problem and it was cheaper and easier to fit a new unit which by the way was fitted to just about every model that was in the VAG range the only difference was in the part numbers I.E. Skoda/Seat/Volkswagen but it was the same unit her new valve was designated for a Skoda as that was cheaper but has worked like a charm for nearly a year now. Febi are a good brand.
